Orleans replaces Wolk as ADA ruler

NEW RULER AT ADA: In one confirmed move, ADA President/CEO Mitchell Wolk is being replaced by current SVP/GM David Orleans, a 17-year veteran of the distribbery, who will report to WEA President/CEO Mike Jbara. Wolk, who himself replaced Andy Allen in 2008, will continue as a consultant. "As one of the first employees of ADA, David has helped define the elements that have allowed the culture to thrive over the past 17 years, so it was only logical for him to move into this role,” Wolk wrote this morning in an email to staff. Said Jbara in a press release: “As Mitchell prepares to move on to his next career chapter, he can be here with us to help assure a seamless leadership transition.” (9/14a)
